John Mayer has a song for every situation life could throw at you. His music has been with me through my countless trials and tribulations. I can't even fathom how many times I've listened to all his albums on repeat. His poetic lyrics and beautiful melodies make me feel otherworldly. So, I decided to take on the challenging task of listing the 18 Best John Mayer songs. They are in no particular order because all his songs are masterpieces, duh.

18. Stop This Train

This song is the definition of an existential crisis.

17. Love Song For No One

This tune is off of John's debut album, "Room for Squares," and is the perfect bubbly love song to listen to while walking to class or sitting in a coffee shop people-watching.

16. Helpless

This is off of John's newest album, "The Search for Everything." It has the perfect mix of a retro style sound with a groovy guitar riff paired with infectious lyrics.

15. Assassin

At 5 minutes and 14 seconds, this is one of John's longer songs, but it's angelic in the way it tells the story of a man that sleeps around and isn't into commitment (an assassin), who then falls for a girl who's "an assassin too". Karma at its finest.

14. Rosie

The way he says "Perdon and lo siento" gives me goosebumps.

13. 3x5

John may have figured out the meaning of life with this song. Live in the moment, spend time with the people you love, and don't take pictures of everything you do!

12. Heartbreak Warfare

The striking guitar and smooth vocals make this a classic.

11. Daughters

How can you not like this song? I cry every time I hear it.

10. No Such Thing

The hard-hitting lyrics and attention grabbing guitar playing makes this one of John's most memorable songs.

9. Vultures

The first song I learned to play on the drum set so it holds a special place in my heart.

8. Gravity

This will be played at my wedding. One of the best love songs ever written.

7. Split Screen Sadness

Have you ever been in a long distance relationship? This song describes the feeling perfectly.

6. Bigger Than My Body

The ideal song to scream out of a car sunroof or dance around with your friends to.

5. Waiting on the World to Change

One of John's most commercially successful songs, and rightfully so. It has some of the most quotable lyrics such as, "It's hard to beat the system / when you're standing at a distance."

4. XO

This song is a cover of the Beyonce song of the same name, but it's so well done that it makes the list.

3. 83 Medley (Live in Birmingham)

One of the best mash ups ever. You can hear the audience freak out when he effortlessly transitions into "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun."

2. Clarity

The jazzy undertone and soulful falsetto give me life.

1. Why Georgia

A motivational song about chasing your dreams instead of being clouded by fear.

John once said in an interview, "Hopefully people can see my music is tethered to my brain." We can John, and we love you for it.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
